Reverse Screen Sharing Grabber
I'm the submitter. I spent more time with this the next day, and got it down a little simpler.
on Dr Cube, this Applescript:
saved as "ScreenSharingSwitch.app" when triggered, this scans processes—if Screen Sharing is already running, it terminate the process; if Screen Sharing is not running, it grabs W89100AK7AP's screen. Thus, one call to start, or one call to stop. on my W89100AK7AP, this Applescript:
saved as "ScreenSharingSender.app" this sends the call to Dr Cube to run the above script, superseding the previous .command-and-do-shell version. *previous instructions already established the secure ssh key.
Reverse Screen Sharing Grabber
Asmus Vierck introduced the idea of using Keychain, an excellent point!
I made a new Keychain Item on Dr Cube named "ScreenSharingGrabber" (don't be mean, I just like to keep things simple) then on Dr Cube, here is the most up-to-date version of the Applescript (v.3 at this point!)
saved as "ScreenSharingSwitch.app"I have been trying to keep this to free & built-in components. (I actually tried Remote Desktop via one of the work machines, but I could not automate "fullscreen," it always appeared as a window—the window had a "make fullscreen" button, but I could not find a term in Remote Desktop's AppleScript dictionary.) My other goal is one-click operation—that's why the use of ApplecScript to make all the system calls. If operation isn't instant and foolproof, the effect is lost—and then I'm surrounded by people staring over my shoulder—only now they're slightly frustrated, because I failed at being clever! |
